I talked to one of my good friends yesterday (who happens to be a personal trainer) and she gave me a lot of good tips. The Couch to 5K Challenge is great in and of itself for its purpose, but I need to build muscle in order to continue losing weight at the rate that I should be. So, I need to eat lots of protein, cut back on carbs, and strength train for 30-60 minutes on my days off of the C25K. Honestly, I'm not sure that I am up for working out 5x/week. It's been really hard to motivate myself to do 3x/week for the C25K. My point? I'm going to tweek my work outs over the next 2-3 weeks and see what works for me. I may not be continuing the C25K as outlined on the website, but I'm going to do what I need to do for me.

Thank you all for your love and support!
